Podcast Title: Relatively Human Episode 01: Mitochondria: The Powerhouse of the Cell and Maybe the Time Lord of Your Life?

Description: Your mitochondria aren't just biological batteries; they are the "Time Lords" of your reality. In this debut episode, hosts Alex and Dr. J move beyond the high school meme to reveal the 1.5-millisecond speed limit that governs your existence. We explore the quantum tunneling that powers this clock, why small animals perceive the world in slow motion, and the thermodynamic collapse that leads to "brain fog." From the "oxygen cascade" to the future of synthetic bioenergetics, discover why you are a rhythmic being living strictly on mitochondrial time.
